Climate Change
Dr. Debjani Sihi is an Assistant Professor at Dept of Environmental Sciences, Emory University. She is a biogeochemist (or, ecosystem ecologist) and we are very excited that she is here with us today. Broadly, her research interests lie in soil organic matter dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions from natural and managed systems.She uses biogeochemical models to evaluate the fate of soil (and ecosystem) carbon (and nutrient) in the face of climate change. She aspires to address a wide range of environmental problems at soil-climate-health-policy nexus under the umbrella of sustainability
Hosts
Arshi Arora
Arshi Arora is a Research Biostatistician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She holds a double Masters of Science degree in Computational Biology and Biostatistics from Carnegie Mellon and Columbia University respectively. Her interests lie in creating elegant solutions to biological and clinical questions via simple yet compelling statistical models. She is a minimalist and follows an intense recycling waste regimen.
Sabah Kadri, PhD
Dr. Sabah Kadri has a background in Computer Engineering with a PhD in Computational Biology from Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Kadri leads a team of bioinformaticians and scientists to design, develop and implement cloud-based computational infrastructure and containerized bioinformatics software in clinical diagnostic services for germline and somatic next generation sequencing (NGS) testing. She has experience building clinical diagnostics pipelines and systems for adult and pediatric diseases and continues to work on informatics solutions and research questions for translational ‘omics’ and biomedical research to promote personalized medicine.
